This month I am in Chaing Mai, Thailand and God is doing some amazingly radical things here. There are so many things I want to share with you, but first things first…I'm on a new team!
This team has been such a game changer for my race. Over the past 8 months my previous team and I had changed a whole lot spiritually and emotionally and we aren't the same people we were when we started. God decided to mix things up again and give us a fresh start. So here's my new team!
(Team Ampersand)
It has been such a privilege and a joy to work beside and with these amazing men and women of God. Already God has spoken over us and blessed us with His joyful presence.
This month we are working for the Lighthouse Ministries in Chaing Mai. The ministry owns a cafe, goes out at night for bar ministry, talks to Buddhist monks, and helps out the poorer neighborhoods in the area. It is such an encouraging and inspiring ministry that God just keeps blessing.
Today alone my team and I have prayed up and down the bar streets where young men and women sell themselves on a daily basis for money to send back home or to pay for college, and we prayed over Buddhist temples. It was a heavy day, but one that I will never forget. I really just feel God's presence in this dark, dark place and know that He is going to show up and give us the opportunity to spread His light and expand the Kingdom. It's all about love, acceptance and relationships.
One of the bigger ministries we will be doing this month is working in the bars at night talking to the ladyboys and the women who are soliciting themselves for money. Our goal is to befriend them and show them the love of Christ in a way they have truly never experienced it before. This is a HUGE deal and a major ministry that is deeply needed, however it is also very taxing spiritually and emotionally on all parties involved.
Here's how you can help!
Prayer:
PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! WORSHIP! PRAY! WORSHIP! PRAY! Please! This is such a crucial part of not only this ministry, but any ministry. We need to be completely covered in prayer 24 hours a day. I wish I could express to you exactly how dark of an area that this place truly is. The enemy lurks around every corner like a hungry lion seeking for someone to devour! That's no joke! It's real! But we will not stand in fear, but rather we will have a Spirit of Power as we walk into this darkness. I just ask that you will pray over us that God will show up, that we will listen to His voice, and lives will be changed for the Kingdom of God!
Financial Help:
My team and I have a very low budget for this month and in order to minister to these people we have to buy non-alcoholic drinks (coke, pepsi, sprite, etc) which will cost us around $2 a piece. This is such a small price to pay for an enhancement to the Kingdom of God and for lives to be radically changed. THESE ARE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WE'RE OUT HERE SAVING! We need your help! If you could donate any amount be it $2 or $200 it would not only be greatly appreciated, but it will help save lives. EVERY gift makes a HUGE difference! Please pray and consider donating.
